RTM Kelantan FM is available in part of Pahang by tuning FM 97.3MHz from Bukit Bakar

 

RTM Kelantan FM is a state radio station for Kelantan, it broadcasts with 7 frequencies such as FM 102.9MHz Wakaf Che Yeh for Kota Bharu, FM 88.1MHz Felda Paloh, FM 97.3MHz Bukit Bakar for Central Kelantan and Lojing Highlands, FM 92.0MHz Bukit Chupak for Gua Musang town, FM 107.2MHz Dabong, FM 90.0MHz Bukit Tangki Air for Jeli and FM 107.1MHz Bukit Bintang for Besut, Terengganu.

 

This radio station covers Kelantan, North Terengganu and part of Thailand (Narathiwat province), however Kelantan FM is available in part of Pahang by tuning on FM 97.3MHz from Bukit Bakar.

 

Available areas in Pahang are:

1. Merapoh [117km]

2. Cameron Highlands (Blue Valley, Kea Farm Brinchang and Lavender Garden Tringkap)**

3. Benta [190km]

 

**Blue Valley [158km], Lavender Garden Tringkap [162km] & Kea Farm Brinchang [165km]

 

The receiving signal is moderate to poor in these locations. 

 

Transmission power is 2kW. Here are the videos of receiving Kelantan FM in Pahang state:

 

1. Benta

 

2. Merapoh

 

3. Cameron Highlands

 

For Cameron Highlands, listeners need to tune with high sensitivity radio receiver in higher location in order to get better reception. For Kelantan FM 97.3MHz where I received in Brinchang Kea Farm, I recorded the footage while I was stuck in traffic congestion.

 

In Benta, I received Kelantan FM at RnR (rest station) at 14th November 2021 approximately 0800 hours (UTC+8).

 

Kelantan FM tuning frequency in Merapoh is FM 97.3MHz from Bukit Bakar, not FM 92.0MHz from Bukit Chupak which was mentioned on Wikipedia. For your information, FM 92.0MHz is for Gua Musang town only.

 

Among all FM DX videos of receiving Kelantan FM in Pahang, Benta is the furthest location that I received so far with 190km distance.

 

No signal in Kuala Lipis town, Padang Tengku, Dong and Raub, possibly adjacent channel interference from Ai FM 97.1MHz Bukit Fraser transmitter is detected in these three locations, even in Benta too.

 

With the videos as evidence, I believe this can benefit to Kelantan FM's listeners who tune the radio station in Pahang state if they travel both states.
